Table 2.

Minimum gelation concentration (C _gel) as determined by the vial inversion test in toluene and calculated length of the PBLG α-helix (L _helix), molecular weight (M _{n, SEC}), and PDI

Sample	M _{n, SEC} (g/mol)	PDI	L _helix (nm)^a	C _gel (wt%)
PBLG₃₀	6,500	1.13	4.5	>2.0
PBLG₃₃₈	74,000	1.43	50.7	0.2

^aCalculated length of the PBLG α-helix. L _helix = N _PBLG × 0.15 nm, where N _PBLG is the average degree of polymerization of PBLG determined by SEC–MALLS with experimentally determined dn/dc (PBLG) = 0.122 mL/g (45 °C)
